This is a Herend Cat Figurine, a white sitting cat made of fine porcelain from around 1970. It’s petite and palm‑sized—2 inches tall, 1 inch wide, and 1.5 inches long—so it tucks nicely onto a shelf or windowsill. The glossy glaze is bright and smooth, with soft curves along the back and paws. The face is neatly hand‑detailed, giving the cat a calm, knowing look. Condition is near mint, with no cracks or chips noted and only the lightest signs of age. At about 56 years old, it’s a true vintage piece, and the clean white finish suits almost any room.

Herend Porcelain hails from Herend, Hungary, founded in 1826 and brought to international fame in the mid‑19th century. The company is celebrated for hand‑painted porcelain, from royal table services to characterful animal figures, typically made in small workshop batches. Many items carry the blue Herend shield and Hungary mark with painter or model numbers, reflecting careful, hands‑on production. Collectors prize the crisp modeling, luminous glazes, and patterns like Queen Victoria and the well‑known fishnet scales—though this all‑white cat lets the sculpting take center stage. Figurines from the 1970s aren’t ultra‑rare, but a tiny example in near‑mint condition like this is less common and easy to love.
